New Tailgate fitted2.jpg20170715_153917.jpg20170715_094434.jpgOK.... I couldn't help myself.
I bought a bunch of slightly misprinted/blemished stripes from Jason a few years back for the ute I had that I ended up selling. I was going to do a patina/barn find replica Sandman with different colour panels and all sorts of wear and tear. It didn't happen and I sold the ute to a mate and had all these stripes sitting around waiting for the right van or ute so....
I scrubbed them with a scotch brite pad in a few spots and on all the edges around the doors to simulate age and natural wear to give the impression they had been on it since new.

New tailgate fitted too. This is the brand new Rare Spares one I bought for my white van a while back before I realised that they didn't seal adequately at the bottom. I still need to age the tailgate a bit... It looks out of place.
It was really strange drilling a brand new panel with brand new paint out for tarp hooks ( still in transit).
